Construction Superintendent

About the role

Oversee and coordinate electrical installations including underground duct banks, conduits, cable pulling, terminations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, and grounding for SpaceXAI Data Centers.

Manage and schedule electrical contractors, subcontractors, and on-site crews to deliver project milestones on time and to SpaceXAI's exacting quality and reliability standards.

Ensure all contractors adhere to electrical scope, delivering high-integrity power systems critical to data center uptime and operational readiness.

Monitor daily progress of electrical construction, maintaining detailed logs, red-line drawings, and as-built documentation for power infrastructure.

Develop and enforce aggressive construction schedules while keeping the project on time and within budget.

Champion and enforce SpaceXAI's safety program, building a zero-incident culture across all teams working around energized equipment, excavations, and heavy electrical installations.

Supervise foremen and electrical crews, fostering teamwork and accountability in a high-stakes mission-critical environment.

Proactively resolve on-site challenges — material delays, technical conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination with other trades — with a strong focus on electrical system reliability and code compliance.

Conduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with local regulations, electrical codes, safety protocols, and SpaceXAI's stringent quality standards.

Prepare and present clear progress reports, electrical construction metrics, and risk updates to senior leadership.
